I was wary of adding beet stalks and leaves to my smoothies, thinking they would make it bitter. Not so, it came out a beautiful pink colour and delicious!
Blend: 1 peeled orange, 1 inch slice fresh pineapple, 1 banana, 1 apple, handful of beet tops (stalks and leaves). Add some water if you prefer a drinkable smoothie. Vary the ingredients to match what you have available.
Enjoy!
Yes, they are Pat, and really good if fresh from the garden!
beet leaves and stalks are great as a cooked veg a bit like swiss chard, delicious and cheap
